Simplify n + -2 to n - 2

(n - 2)(n + 4) = 27

Expand

n^2 + 4n - 2n - 8 = 27

Simplify n^2 + 4n - 2n - 8 to n^2 + 2n - 8

n^2 + 2n - 8 = 27

Move all terms to one side

n^2 + 2n - 8 - 27 = 0

Simplify n^2 + 2n - 8 - 27 to n^2 + 2n - 35

n^2 + 2n - 35 = 0

Factor n^2 + 2n - 35

(n - 5)(n + 7) = 0

Solve for n

<u>n = 5, -7</u>

Answer:

9 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

27/3=9

There are 2 different ways to solve this equation.

Side note: subtracting a negative (4- -3) turns the equation into addition (4+3) and adding a negative (4+ -3) turns the equation into subtraction (4-3)

So the original equation: (n + -2)x(n - -4)=27

Turns into this: (n-2)x(n+4)=27

Way 1: (11-2)x(-1+4)=27

9x3=27

Way 2: (5-2)x(5+4)=27

3x9=27

Hope this helped! :)

The correlation coefficient is -0.87; strong correlation

<h3>How to determine the correlation coefficient?</h3>

The given parameters are:

x = Time spent working out

y = lbs Overweight

Next, we enter the table of values in a graphing tool.

From the graphing tool, we have the following summary:

<u>X Values</u>

  • ∑ = 27.1
  • Mean = 2.71
  • ∑(X - Mx)2 = SSx = 22.569

<u>Y Values</u>

  • ∑ = 89
  • Mean = 8.9
  • ∑(Y - My)2 = SSy = 778.9

<u>X and Y Combined</u>

  • N = 10
  • ∑(X - Mx)(Y - My) = -114.19

<u>R Calculation</u>

r = ∑((X - My)(Y - Mx)) / √((SSx)(SSy))

r = -114.19 / √((22.569)(778.9))

r = -0.8613

Approximate

r = -0.87

This means that the correlation coefficient is -0.87

Also, the correlation coefficient is a strong correlation, because it is closer to -1 than it is to 0

Casey wants to buy a gym membership. Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month. Gym B has no joining fee and costs $6
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month.

Assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym A will be

150 + 35 times x months. It becomes

150 + 35x

Gym B has no joining fee and costs $60 per month.

Again, assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym B will be

60 × x months = 60x

A) To determine the number of months that it will both gym memberships to be the same, we will equate them.

150 + 35x = 60x

60x - 35x = 150

25x = 150

x = 150/25 = 6

It will take 6 months for both gym memberships to be the same.

B) If Casey plans to only go to the gym for 5 months,

Plan A will cost 150 + 35×5 = $325

Plan B will cost 60 × 5 = $300

Plan B will be cheaper
